Sooo, I have some questions, and am interested to hear what your preferences are.

I've been looking for new dogs lately, since I have four games, three of them are pretty much empty xD I'm after a Chihuahua so I can get a friend for my Corgi. I'm really picky when it comes to the color, personality and the bark of the dog. Some dogs have a bark that sounds like a garbage disposal, and that's all I need is to turn on my game to have a garbage disposal run at me and try to get my attention |: So regarding barking, I normally go to the kennel, zoom in on my dog and wait for it to bark so I can see what kind of a bark it has. Does anyone know if there's something you can do to make it bark? I don't think there is, but still :c It would make life easier.

I've noticed on a few dogs, instead of just three colors, there's actually four. There's the 'white or peach' color, the 'orange', and the 'dark', right? I found on the Chihuahua's, there's white, peach/pink, orange and dark, and thought it was neat. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that xD

So, what is your favorite? Do you like the white, orange or darker color the best? What kind of puppy do you like? What are your rituals to buying and bringing home a new dog? Have any tips you can give an old-time player of the game? D: I'm so curious to see how other people play the game xD I'm sorry, but thank you in advance if you decide to share some stories <3

I usually feel the same way. I'm very picky with these things. I can literally spend hours at the kennel clicking on a breed of dog continually until I find just the right personality, coloring, and bark. I'm not kidding. Some barks sound like retching, others give me a headache. And I usually don't want a high pitched, yappy-sounding bark... especially on a big dog. I do the same thing... zoom in to wait for the dog to bark... and it frustrates me, but there is no way to provoke a dog to bark or anything. Purchasing a dog would be a much quicker process if there was, though.That's cool with the Chihuahuas. I have all 3 original versions (sorry, but I don't really see Dalmatian as a true original because it's got unoriginal breeds), and Chihuahua was the first. Got it in '05. But I never noticed that. I'll take a look at some point! I usually like the bigger dogs. eg Siberian Huskies, German Shepherds, Boxers, Labs. (I've got a Lab in real life). I love all real and virtual dogs, but I'd rather big, clunky tail-wagging company than small yappy pups.
